Captain's Log — Issue 007

Someone said it to you at some point.

Maybe directly. Maybe it was just the look on their face. Maybe it was a room that went quiet when you said what you wanted.

And it stuck.

I think about Killua a lot when I think about this. Trained from birth to be an assassin. Every person around him had already decided what and who he was. And for a long time he just accepted it was who he was and never questioned who installed it.

The moment his story shifts isn't when he beats someone. It's when he meets someone who never got the memo about what he was supposed to be.

I've had people tell me the VTuber angle wouldn't work. That the niche was too specific. That I was building something nobody would care about. I almost let that opinion become a fact.

If that sounds familiar here something to try:

Write down the name of the person who gave you that verdict. The intent isn't to blame them. Just to separate their opinion from what's actually true about you. They're not the same thing.
